Girls Basketball Grades 7 & 8 Quabbin Valley League

This division is again playing in the Quabbin Valley League. This is a recreational traveling hoop league. The philosophy of the league is to teach fair play, good sportsmanship and improve skills of each individual.

Teams travel to towns such as South Hadley, Belchertown, Ludlow, Chicopee, Granby, Monson, Palmer, and others. We will practice and play home games in Northampton.

Teams will play at least 12 games, with “stop time” rules. Practices start in November, games are late December through February, with playoffs in March.

All players receive a reversible basketball team shirt, and play in every game.

Teams are officiated by certified, or in some cases adult, officials.

Players will use a intermediate sized basketball (28.5") and a 10 foot hoop.

Residents of Northampton, Florence, Leeds have priority until October 26. Non-residents registering after that date must attend school in Northampton, or must not have a Quabbin League team in their town of residence.

Pre-season Practices and Evaluations

Coaches NeededCoaches and assistant coaches are needed each year for our teams. The basketball league has about 28 teams each year, and it wouldn't be successful without the dedication, knowledge and time given to the program by all our amazing volunteers.

If you are interested in coaching, please indicate it on the space provided on your players form. If you do not have a player in the league or would like to contact us to coach, please send us an email.
